Chillin' on the Beach & A Winner

As y'all know from this bathing suit baby bump post, David and I (along with my sister, Tori, and her sweet boyfriend, Jason) checked out and headed to the beach a couple of weeks ago. Specifically, we went to Navarre Beach, Florida, which is a spot my family has vacationed at for years. We had a ball relaxing in our ocean-front condo, chillin' under an umbrella on the water and doing literally nothing. It was amazeballs.

David thinks it's officially hilarious to try and make the "awkward maternity heart pose" every time we take a photo. So I oblige. We're cool like that.

Navarre has a huge natural preserve that is right next to the condo we stayed in. It was really cool seeing all of the nesting seagulls and signs saying "sea turtle nests" all over the place! The sunsets were just gorgeous.

Um, by the way, I am loving PicMonkey. Look how many cool variations I got from this shot!

Even once the actual sun set, it was beautiful! A moon-set, if you will.

We had some overcast mornings, but the ocean water color stayed beautiful.

While we were in such a picturesque locale, I forced sweetly asked Tori to take some preggo photos of David and I. Minus our windswept hair, I think they turned out pretty fabulous!

Gimme your best "Blue Steel."

Yeah, that husband of mine is pretty handsome, isn't he?

All in all, the trip was perfection. I could actually stand to set up shop on the beach until September, when our little pea pod is due. Whatcha think? Who wants to join me for some virgin margaritas?? : )

I am sitting on the beach sunning while catching up on blog posts so I clicked overto see who won!! So excited! I can't find your email and I'm not real good at using this phone! My email is itsabeautifulthingthislife@gmail.com. Thanks so much!! I love your maxi in those pictures!!! You look adorable!

Oh that looks like a perfect beach getaway! I LOVE the beach, so yeah I'll join you for drinks on a beach any day. Until September you say?...mmmkay by me! I think your maternity shots are perfect!! With your hair blowing in the wind, they are still perfect. What a beautiful place to take photos, and you look gorgeous in that maxi!!! So glad you took that opportunity!

Hey guys! Thanks so much for the awesome comments. You guys know how to make a girl blush : )

The black dress is a maxi dress from Target and the black/white striped dress is a maxi dress from Old Navy. I've found that it's easier not to splurge on maternity clothes (except for work), so I go for the only thing that can fit... stretchy big maxi dresses! Definitely my uniform for this summer : )
